I really don't mind ads on the side of the page. Hell, I don't even mind flash ads if they are not so big and without sound (aghh). But having to watch 30 sec ads before a video, just to see something that I'm not even sure I will like, this is a think I don't tolerate. Oh well... Money is king.

I think charging people for service and support is evil even if you provide the source code. Actually, I don't really believe that, but I tire of the strange argument that charging a fee for service on software you didn't write is OK (profit!) but selling your application and keeping the source private is a sin.
